Welcome to Empires, a first-person shooter/real-time strategy game based on Valve's source engine. Since Empires is probably unlike most games you've played before, we highly recommend you read through this manual before you first join a server. For more information, visit the Empires website (www.empiresmod.com) and click on the forums link.
After choosing a team you will be presented with the Class Selection Screen. There are four classes: Engineer, Rifleman, Grenadier, and Scout. Certain classes can choose between multiple weapons, accessible by clicking on the weapons in the class selection screen. When you earn experience points you will be able to unlock Skill Slots, located under the weapons and all but one slot will be locked when you first join the game.
Whenever you join a game that has just started, the Commander Voting Menu ("," by default) will appear. Here you can vote for a player to become the Commander. The player with the most votes will automatically spawn in the command view with their body inside the command vehicle. It is strongly reccommended that players don't command until they are proficient at the game, as the role of the commander is vital to the success of the team.
Note: You can opt in or opt out of commanding by clicking on the corresponding buttons in the bottom corners of the menu.
The upper-right corner shows information about how many resources and reinforcements the team has available.
- Reinforcements (also called "tickets") show how many times your team and the enemy team can spawn.
- Current vehicles on the battlefield. This includes the Command Vehicle.
- Wages are a personal pool of resources that are only spendable by you.
- Resources are generated by refineries and are used for construction and research. The number between brackets on the right shows the amount of resources your team receives per second.
The minimap gives an overhead view of the whole map. You can zoom in and out using the zoom keys ("[" and "]" by default).The minimap uses a coordinate system to show players locations when they use text or voice chat.
The lower-left corner displays your health and stamina. Your health will go down when you take damage and can be replenished by medic containers or engineers with their repair tool. Stamina, used when jumping and sprinting, always regenerates over time.
The lower-right corner contains information about weapon ammunition. The line of bullets represents the amount of ammo remaining in your current magazine. The number to the right is the remaining ammo you have. The engineer's tool has an infinite supply of slowly regenerating ammo.
Move / Guard
Attack
The commander may choose to give soldiers direct orders. These allow the commander to easily direct his soldiers to where they will help the team the most.
When you are given an order it will appear on your screen as either:
- a green pentagon (for move and guard orders), or
- a red diamond (for attack orders). The attack order diamond will follow the unit that you are ordered to attack, giving you both direction and a tactical advantage.
The size of the shape will also vary; the larger it is, the closer you are to your objective. Once you have completed the order it will disappear.
Located in armories, placed by engineers, and scattered around maps are supply containers. Some containers supply ammunition (including the engineer's container) while others marked with a cross, supply health. To use one of these containers hold down the USE key ("E" by default) when near the container. Similar to containers are the vehicle factory consoles. To access one, move in front of it and then press the USE key.
Empires has many different vehicles. To enter a vehicle, simply go up to it and press the USE key. You can switch positions inside the vehicle by using the function keys (F1, F2, F3, etc). The F1 position is always the driver position. Pressing the USE key again will exit the vehicle.
